[wet kernel]

i killed some random merc and got a 100% svd pmc

[rose musk]

okay you lost me

it's too OP and you did it already

but you're asking how to do it?

[wet kernel]

yes?

[rose musk]

[wet kernel]

i want to know if theres a way to do it that isnt op

[rose musk]

Just up the base quality of part drops

dont max it at 100 do like 60

so at least stuff is instantly repairable

you'll still run into fully 100% guns often if you tweak it at all

you run into quite a few in a normal run already

[wet kernel]

im fine with it occasionally

[waxen cloak]

Did you toggle on freelook or something?

[wet kernel]

i want it to be rare is what i mean

[rose musk]

you wont be able to find a sweet spot

[shy yoke]

Thats what im wondering, it just happened out of nowhere

[wet kernel]

yea without editing configs i assume

[rose musk]

since you can only up the base % it'll either feel too low (current baseline) or too high (raising it even 5% can cause it)

[quasi python]

yea i went from 20k to 50k shmeckles off soley loot money

[rose musk]

holy moly

[quasi python]

plus lukash giving me 25k for the mission itself

he loves me

i love him

we are lovers you could say

so in all i made like 55k shmeckles off barrier def

[foggy geyser]

game is desperatly trying to get me to go to darkscape

[quasi python]

fuck darkscape

[foggy geyser]

yeah
sorry game that RF package is staying there forever

[flint zealot]

all my homies hate darkscape

[wide fable]

shrugs

Darkscape is empty as fuck. I actually like that about it.

[rose musk]

you can skip RF packages

right click your RF device or PDA

forget which once

[foggy geyser]

Oh nice cheers for that

[rose musk]

https://tenor.com/view/predator-arnold-schwarzenegger-carl-weathers-gif-5129663

got you buddy

[quasi python]

BRO

30 boolets of 338 lapua is 55k roopies

[wet kernel]

what im asking for is basically to have anybody spawn with any durability of weapon, but someone spawning with a perfectly functioning weapon is super rare. so you search a bunch of bodies before you get one and it might be something like a pm. but the problem is that you can only change the % that the parts can spawn at and they are all equally likely so if you were to set the max to 100% then they could just as likely spawn with a 100% waepon as they could a 1% weapon. i dont want to kill 5 mercs and for all of them to have 100% weapons so im kitted from day one. i just want to have the chance to find something good that could take you all the way to the end game. basically the ability to find anything anywhere is fun for me

[quasi python]

how am i supposed to use my m98b in these conditions

[rose musk]

lapua is the greatest scam to ever exist

[quasi python]

yea i wanna use the barret but im using M700 cus i cant afford the cancerous ammo

[rose musk]

you'd have to cook that up yourself tbh

[quasi python]

even crafting it is aids

[rose musk]

don't think anyone has even began to work on a mod like that

could browse the modlist for something similar

now tbf the chance to find a god tier gun is already there, fiding a D tier rifle with a green barrel is a thing on day one, even with multiple green parts

might be a day or two in-game to find the other parts for it

can also buy 100% parts off of a trader

[wet kernel]

so the game already has it its just set to a really low value

[rose musk]

Yes

parts can drop as low as 1 but as high as 100

[wet kernel]

ive never seen a 100% weapon afaik

where it was totally 100% i mean

[rose musk]

you can repair anything above 60 with the same type repair kit

only need a green barrel to have a functional weapon

since you can swap out non-barrel parts at will without the need for a big repair kit

but yeah a weapon full of 100% parts or even above 60% is quite rare

rifles have more parts than pistols making the odds even worse for really high tier guns

I've found like 50 full functional pistols already in like 6 days

but only 2 rifles

problem with tweaking any %'s in gamma is they are so fine tuned even a 1% difference DRASTICALLY changes outcomes

hell just look at the weapon jam mod grok added, alot of people myself included rushed to find a way to get rid of it. base 1% jam rate could have you magically jamming 4 times in 10 shots at 100%

https://tenor.com/view/yapping-yapping-level-today-catastrophic-yapanese-gif-13513208407930173397

i'll stop yapping now

[wet kernel]

lmao

i also think there should be a lot more loose loot but thats a story for another day

finding things around the map should be more of a thing imo

[rose musk]

It kinda is, just gotta know where things can spawn already

gamma is like 70% knowledge

[dusk vessel]

at this point youre blogging

https://tenor.com/view/stalker-stalker-game-gn-chat-gn-good-morning-gif-15916286457191491792

[shy yoke]

Is survival mode bugged?

[rose musk]

https://tenor.com/view/yapping-yapper-yapping-man-old-guy-yapping-keep-yapping-gif-16586719177455162521

[shy yoke]

There is nothing spawning

I only have seen 2 banfits but zero zombified stalkers yet

[junior notch]

i upped drop condition and did not find it too op, but i did miss out on loot like fully repaired exohelms during bs because i thought it was unfair

[wet kernel]

well i mean even more so

like you should be able to go into a grocery store and find food on the shelves

[rose musk]

But why would there be anything just out in the open to begin with

[junior notch]

usually i'd just get kinda fixed green barrel guns tho

[wet kernel]

and not just one or two items but a bunch

[rose musk]

you're surrounded by (based on stalker pop) nearly 1k random mf's actively scavenging in the zone

[junior notch]

nah this would be sick, for exploration

[wet kernel]

it could scale with the area

more northern/dangerous areas have more loot

[junior notch]

remember cop had random ass tools lying around

[rose musk]

but the zone has been around for so long this whole version of the game takes place YEARS after the base game

[rose musk]

so does GAMMA

[wet kernel]

theres still probably areas that havent been fully explored because they are dangerous

[junior notch]

yeah but stashes are not as satisfying as finding loot while exploring cause you know exactly where they are and you get a good idea of what you'll get

[wet kernel]

i mean for that matter why find loose loot at all

esp in cordon and such

[rose musk]

no there are random loot tools

out in the open

extremely rare but they exist

[quasi python]

you guys are giving me stalker aids

[junior notch]

like basic tools?

wtf

i've never seen this shit wtf

[rose musk]

Yes bro one sec

there jump to that

we were just talking about this the other day

[junior notch]

thats crazy i stand corrected

[rose musk]

I personally have never ran into one

[spark spoke]

Anyone use the M249 for the end game? 556 becomes insanely plentiful imo. I equipped it kinda as a joke but then I went on to clear radar and butchered sin in red forest

[rose musk]

but I probably will now that I know they exist and where to look

[rose musk]

most ammo is plentiful outside of like lapua in late game

once you have no upgrades to go and you can just whole hog your cash into breaking down and crafting ammo

you're gaming

[spark spoke]

That’s when the fun finally starts

[rose musk]

[sharp schooner]

hip gossip fr

[rose musk]

took off his fuckin' eggs!

[quasi python]

hip is doodoo

[rose musk]

kinda surprised that guy lived getting shot in the junk in the zone

[quasi python]

only lonely horney goobers with 0 goals in the zone strive to make hip their pal

we must stay focused broothers

[blissful ivy]

hip shouldnt exist

literally useless content

dont care, didnt ask, remove hip

[rose musk]

hey hey hey

[blissful ivy]

[quasi python]

to please the horny toads

[rose musk]

a broken toz and some shotgun shells for basic tools

kinda big

[blissful ivy]

no she just shouldnt exist

the content shes from is literally shit

its some obscure shidded stalker book

[quasi python]

yea ill leave it at that honestly

[median badger]

Oh she's canon huh

[quasi python]

THE ZONE IS FOR THE BOIS

[wide fable]

...Keskefuk?
The Loner outpost in Darkscape.

[blissful ivy]

no shes not

shes in some stalker book thats borderline fanfic

[spark spoke]

We don’t go to darkscape in this house.

[blissful ivy]

[rose musk]

As long as she's willing to give me a basically free set of tools

she stays in

[wide fable]

I have a quest here. Dead Night.

No marker,though.

[median badger]

i see i see, didn't know that

[wide fable]

So,if I have no quest marker for Dead Night,is it borked?

[median badger]

No, the spot you need to be in for it to trigger is just extremely specific

[wide fable]

(It's two in the morning.)

[median badger]

Let me get a screenshot for you hang on

[wide fable]

Is this spot on the road or in the Loner outpost?

[median badger]

It's off in some random spot in the woods

[wide fable]

Keskefuk.

[median badger]

Somewhere around where my cursor is

[wide fable]

Looks like the... Southern end of the Darkscape?

That about right?

[median badger]

yep

let me know how you go lol

[wide fable]

Found a bunch of zeds. And a pair of swine that were more of a problem than the zeds.
But no Controller.

[median badger]

Yeah the last time I did it there was no controller either. Idk that whole quest is scuffed af, especially the vague ass trigger point for it

[wide fable]

Aah,there's the Controller.

Had to move a bit.

[quasi python]

LIFE

[median badger]

steal his brain

[wide fable]

He had no brain to steal. Instead,I took his metal mag.

Are there more Controllers,or just the one?

[median badger]

supposed to just be one

the ringleader

[steady rover]

i have had 2 spawn but from what i gathered its a bug

[wide fable]

I got no quest update.

[steady rover]

iirc there should only be 1

[wide fable]

Managed to gun him down without incident,though.

[median badger]

Gotta kill every single zombie I think

[wide fable]

Put a tree between me and him,and hopped out to put 9*19mm HP in him.

Killed them,too.

[median badger]

mm, crappy bugged quest

can probably just finish it with console command if you dont wanna redo it if it wont pop

[wide fable]

Four zeds total.

[median badger]

4? More like 40

[wide fable]

One of those fuckers had an SVD.

[sharp schooner]

https://tenor.com/view/сталкер-меми-stalker-monolit-gif-9085978520748571329

[median badger]

It's supposed to spawn shit loads of civilian zombies and a controller, if it didn't it probably bugged out

[wide fable]

So,like,clawer zeds,not zombified STALKERs?

[median badger]

Yeah, loads of em

Like bring explosives type quantity

[wide fable]

To be fair,I have a Glock 19 Hornet.

I could just slot in a mag of HP into that,set it to semi,and just explode faces.

[blissful ivy]

semi?

weak

weak

full auto or nothing

[wide fable]

Ammo economy.

[blissful ivy]

its 9mm

that shit doesnt have problems

[wide fable]

And my other gun is a Vityaz. They pull from the same pool.

[blissful ivy]

"Ammo economy" dawg its 9x19 that shit is like literally everywhere

drop the vityaz

[median badger]

You'll run out of ammo before you get through half of em

[blissful ivy]

useless ass gun when you have hornet

[blissful ivy]

i sense skill issue

[median badger]

yes

[blissful ivy]

i used the hornet for the better part of my hours, its not an issue

and ive played a shameful amount of hours

[median badger]

Yeah I'm not there yet lol

My aim is not what it was in my BF4 days

[wide fable]

Woe,every gun you shall find henceforth will be a PB.

And the barrel will always be at 59%.

[steady rover]

me using an rpd

https://tenor.com/view/fed-powell-inflation-brr-brrr-gif-12054397209765222551

[median badger]

yep lmg spray and pray

[steady rover]

go my wallet

[wide fable]

Are there any C Class guns that use 7.62mm Russian?

[blissful ivy]

woe, peak be upon ye

[steady rover]

which

[blissful ivy]

59% means its got like 70% damage

meaning its not that bad

in black road terms

in base game terms yeah its useless

[sick yoke]

Akms

[wide fable]

It's also the PB. It's five miles of irradiated ass.

[sick yoke]

That’s about it though

[lunar fossil]

Older AKs

[blissful ivy]

i can kill people with it

[steady rover]

one of the ak-74's are class c and use x39
aks-47, akm of all varients excluding the akms_bas varient

based on the list that is

[mild gale]

Wait is there only HP .357 ammo?

[wide fable]

Yup.

[mild gale]

Horrible news

But thank you

[wide fable]

It's probably the best mutie buster ammo in a pistol slot,shot for shot.

[steady rover]

pretty sure its balanced to still hit like a truck though even against armored

[wide fable]

If you want something full auto,though,there's .45 Hydra.

[steady rover]

pernach

[mild gale]

But I wanna be a cowboy doming doody

[steady rover]

it has 9x18HP

which if you ask me is better than hydrashock

[mild gale]

Honestly I've had great success with the ppsh

It's helped me take down two chimeras at once

[lunar fossil]

Ppsh is goat

[steady rover]

you will love pernach

[mild gale]

Trying to not just go to my comfort weapons for this playthrough though

[wide fable]

An underappreciated thing.
Absolute pants against humans,but load it with a drum of HP,and you have something that can end entire mutant populations.

[mild gale]

I can't just be a Merc in Dead City for the 10th time

[wide fable]

Be a Sinner.

[mild gale]

I don't wanna be that uncomfortable

[steady rover]

turn on gunships and play ecologists for the real russian civilian experiance

[mild gale]

lmao

Lucifer just seems like a lot that I just don't have the bandwidth for

[wide fable]

Oh,fine. Be a rock-licker.
Wuss.

[lunar fossil]

Be renegade

[mild gale]

I need to get my sodium somehow

[steady rover]

eco is fun cause one second your losing a firefight and the next you turn around and suddenly mil moscow is showing you what almost 50 years of progress gets you

[mild gale]

Renegade honestly seems like the worst bar none

At least with Monolith your pals are fucking decked out

And Sin gets pact-of-the-old-one abilities

[wide fable]

And the UNISG gets toys.

[mild gale]

Worse bandits seems peak suffercore

Yeah UNISG gets some good shit

[lunar fossil]

Exactly

[wide fable]

Even the Bandits barely tolerate the Renegades.

[steady rover]

yeah but the unisg is also a free for all and the first 8 hours are pain stakingly making sure you dont waste ammo because buying more is not an option

[mild gale]

For now after a year hiatus I'm just going freedom in army warehouses

[steady rover]

we lost him

[mild gale]

Not original but it's been a change of pace

[steady rover]

freedom claims another

[wide fable]

And now,I sleep. Goodnight,shank that Bloodsucker.

[mild gale]

When the armor rework drops I'm definitely choosing one of those awful factions lmao

Having to go through shithole county #1 (truck cemetary) every time I need to go south has been awful

And I'm just never playing Clear Sky. You couldn't pay me to go to the swamps

Much less live there

[lunar fossil]

What about military?

[mild gale]

What about military

[lunar fossil]

If you want change from mercenary/freedom gameplay, you could try military

[mild gale]

Honestly seems the most boring? Friends with ecologists but if you start in Agroprom, the Yantar bunker is full of Loners and Clear Sky.

I dunno it always seemed the most restrictive faction except for the cut ones

But I should probably give it a go

It'd give me an excuse to make good use of the disguise feature

Mainly went with freedom because Army Warehouses is constantly on fire lol

[steady rover]

military is alright

you are gonna struggle with late game though

if i remember they dont get a trader past bar

[mild gale]

They're just mostly south of the zone and you never see military up north

[steady rover]

so you have to overpack way more

[mild gale]

It's been hell finding a good Warsaw pact weapon, bringing it to full condition, and then realizing freedom is NATO

Shoulda just been a bandit man

Can't shoot my cool ass gun

Least until I find a gunsmithing kit

[lunar fossil]

Military is ok for non serious/short playthroughs.

Ecos arent also bad, but you are going to struggle with tasks sometimes

[foggy geyser]

I am like 5 hours in wtf
how did i find an almost all green Howa

what are the chances of that

[lunar fossil]

Grok likes you I guess

[foggy geyser]

peeled it of some random ass merc in great swamps

[mild gale]

Praise be to the Monolith

[rose musk]

sometimes you get lucky

now i curse you with no advanced tools for 3 in-game days

to compensate

[foggy geyser]

i havent even found basic yet lmao

[mild gale]

Curse of the Lost

[foggy geyser]

ive only gotten one yellow stash and it had drugmaker kit in it

[gaunt agate]

honestly if you get lucky with mercs you can find one as early as cordon

it feels almost like cheating

[rose musk]

in that good condition tho

god damn

all but one green part

[gaunt agate]

for sure

[mild gale]

My first yellow stash was basic tools which was lucky

The two black chimeras guarding it was not lucky

[rose musk]

[quasi python]

when it says below, it means lower or higher priority

[turbid heart]

Anyone else think the game runs better on the gog version than usual ?

[hollow wadi]

Assuming you have default filtering, as in by priority 0 at the top, below means higher priority

[sick yoke]

the gog version is literally the exact same as the normal version

it shouldn't run any better or worse

[turbid heart]

i mean it kinda does tho

[hollow wadi]

If it does, it does, neat

[quasi python]

maybe not having to follow directions during install made your game better

[turbid heart]

MAYBE

[flint crag]

Placebo

[atomic pebble]

In PP u can found kit tools of weapons or suits in stalkers and traders, isn't the most common thingi but is normal.
Tho, the thingi isn't sooo easy as it sounds because u had to learn how repair the equipment and u must invest a considerable quantity of money on it, imo that implementation is the best that i ever seen on a stalkermod for how works the gameplay in general, isn't OP while isn't useless.

[quasi python]

im coming for those cheeks Renegade

damnit its clear sky

farm bandit rep for days
finally get level 2 trader
only selling 30 bullets of 5.45x39

[quasi python]

butcher and old man in red forest sell 150 of 5.45 and 5.56 cheap

dont need certain reps

[mild gale]

I uh

I will keep that in mind

For when I think I can get through red forest without immediately dying

[quasi python]

garbage... butcher

[mild gale]

Oh shit totally forgot

Okay sick; thank you

Been outta the game for a hot minute

[steady rover]

im ripped some 30 men limb from limb for this damn rpd

one of them has to have one

[foggy geyser]

I love how sometimes gamma crashes and it locks up my whole PC until I smother it with the off button

[foggy geyser]

But how else are you going to get the radioactive Vietnam experience

If you're not creeping through a radioactive forest getting constantly bushwhacked by critters and rock lickers, are you really living

[quasi python]

BRO WTF LOL

just had 5 lurkers walk into the skavodsk while i was occupied

i heard the door open and turned around and they just walked in like they belonged there

[foggy geyser]

cant an ugly mf get a drink sometimes

[median badger]

was gonna make a run at the brain scorcher but I have too much loot now before even getting to the hill that I gotta go back to base

[waxen plinth]

you can always stash it somewhere. I use either backpack or cross close to AW transition, or blue powder can outside chain fence, a little further down the way to little bunker north-east

[rose musk]

I usually bring a container to drop at the sleeping area at the bottom of the winding hill

good place to hide from emissions as well

[median badger]

yeah looking for a spot now, I'm in that safehouse but I got no container

got myself an ISG exo, not noso but still good get

[mild gale]

THEY'RE IN THE FUCKIN TREES

[viral nexus]

Oh my fucking God bro, I just got jumpscared by a chimera

[mild gale]

They are good at that

[waxen cloak]

It's a rite of passage, really.

[viral nexus]

Fast traveled to outskirts, moved to the stalker base where strelok was, restocked ammo to do some contract killing tasks. Just as I opened the door to exit outside the building, Chimera was already mid way jumping onto me

I'm gonna die from heart attack from playing this game I swear to God bruh

This mf

[rose musk]

Fast traveling to outskirts is asking for funky shit to happen

put you smack dab in the middle of it, gives npc's no time to run into eachother and take themselves out

[viral nexus]

fr. I once had like 6 chimeras spawn near the hospital, then like 4 controllers on the school

[foggy geyser]

does anyone sell a 7.92 barrel?

[hollow wadi]

Any mechanic, but it's a random assortment of parts every day

[rose musk]

controller gank squads are very common in outskirts

https://tenor.com/view/squad-crew-dance-friends-lit-gif-13881422

[foggy geyser]

Is it specific to nato or warpact traders?

[rose musk]

rolling up to fry your brain all at once

[foggy geyser]

or supply level?

[rose musk]

mechanic supply only gets bigger by giving them toolkits through the tasks

[sick yoke]

any and no

[rose musk]

not sure if it adds more parts tho, I know for sure it adds tier appropriate full kits and extra of just about all the crafting parts

[hollow wadi]

Completely non-specific when it comes to weapon parts

[foggy geyser]

Aight
ill just wait for RNGesus to smile upon me

[foggy geyser]

is it still Clear Sky (or nato traders) who sell the Mauser upgrade kit?

[hollow wadi]

Check pins in #╟🔰☢newbies-chat but iirc yes

Or, rather, they sell the silencer attachment thing

Yeah, just the silencer

[foggy geyser]

oh
who sells this?

[hollow wadi]

Nobody will

It's a debug-only kit

[foggy geyser]

AW WHAT

when did grok get rid of it

[hollow wadi]

Or, at least, nobody should
It's buggy and/or crashes the game now

[foggy geyser]

damn that was one of my favourite conversion kits

shit ive been focusing on restoring a mauser and grinding CS rep so i could get this stupid bloody thing 🙃

"finally ill have a good long range weapon" statements dreamed up by the utterly deranged

idk what to do now i dont have any other snipers im remotely close to being able to repair

[hollow wadi]

Yeah, check pins in #╟🔰☢newbies-chat every now and then, Oflin does update them whenever possible

[foggy geyser]

https://tenor.com/view/dammit-damn-it-ryan-gosling-blade-runner-2049-gif-4926221152799030385

damn it where the fuck am i gonna find a sniper rifle south of rostok now

one i can put together with a basic TK

[hollow wadi]

There's always the SKS Molot

[foggy geyser]

Ive got an sks which needs to be repaired
what's this molot

[hollow wadi]

SKS but takes way more scopes and has 10 more ammo

[foggy geyser]

is there an upgrade kit or do i just have to trip over it somewhere?

[hollow wadi]

The latter

[foggy geyser]

dammit

i used up all my RNGesus goodwill with the good condition Howa i wont be able to use for like 30 hours lmao

[foggy geyser]

who drops it?

[hollow wadi]

Let's see..

[quick lava]

Is there a list of modkits like this?

[hollow wadi]

Newbies pins

[foggy geyser]

im pretty sure deerhunter for the remington is also buggy af/crashes game but that was ages ago

[hollow wadi]

Welp, the drop table hasn't been updated yet

Deerhunter is now a separate gun too

But I'd imagine that WP factions drop it

I got mine I believe off a Renegade?

[foggy geyser]

might just spawn one in since i put so much money and work into a gun kit which doesn't even work anymore

ive earned it

[hollow wadi]

Fair nuff

[sick yoke]

apparently that's only a big issue with preplaced artis or something

random spawns don't seem to have that issue i think

Lazy ass

[quasi python]

found a mono blade for the first time ever playing this game for a couple years

[foggy geyser]

worst possible moment for my gun to jam lmao
good thing i peeled a glock off some poor dead merc

[latent elbow]

Just discovered it exists a few days ago, playing since 0.9.1 or so

[analog palm]

damn ya'll never used debug menu

[unborn wadi]

i def have multiple times lol

[quasi python]

https://tenor.com/view/predator-arnold-schwarzenegger-hand-shake-arms-gif-3468629

[latent elbow]

I just need to drop one now

[latent elbow]

Why would I do that

[foggy geyser]

I use debug menu to see all the cool shit theyve added since last time ive played
and incase some bullshit happens

[quasi python]

literally 10 mins b4 i looted it... i bought the kurkuri which is basically same stats

[latent elbow]

Ahah I got the Kukri on my playthrough, try to drop the Nosorog on Outskirts UNISG patrols, I will drop the mono knife eventually if I'm lucky enough

[latent elbow]

I use debug only if I'm soft lock on a task or for beta testing eventually (like testing scopes for #1381483891818233999 )

[median badger]

Man, Brainscorcher, what a RUSH

[latent elbow]

How much time left ?

[median badger]

about a minute

last time I did it I had redone on which was lame af without a timer

[foggy geyser]

oof
i just sprint past everything and then it's post-brainscorcher problem

[analog palm]

to mod the game

smh imagine not being a modder

[quasi python]

its not worth the rarity imo... should be pelts cut 85%-100% or sum

[latent elbow]

Maybe having a lower degradation rate or something like that

[latent elbow]

Everyone plays as they want tbh some people like using debug to get extra tips from time to time, others to mod or testing purposes
I like to be surprised so I don't spoil myself with debug for my playthrough that's why I won't for example check the mono blade and wait to eventually find it in-game but everything is fine by me

[latent cairn]

do i need to turn something off if i turn on meatchunk's prefetcjer

[quasi python]

i really wish there was a hotkey to just dissassemble whatever u hover your mouse over

OLEH IS TYPING

[foggy geyser]

The fucking body flying past me lmao

[latent elbow]

Nope

[ripe lagoon]

then tryhards will complain they didn't get the blade after farming for ten weeks
I decided it should just be a collectible

[quasi python]

doesnt bother me tbh i just buy kurk

literally just to sit in my inventory forever

for skinning

never actually used in combat

[shut jewel]

Does GoG Gamma work fine?

[latent elbow]

Doesn't it have some better durability or smg just to make it a bit different from the Kukri without making it fundamentally better ?

[latent elbow]

It's basically the same except gog does the install for you

[ripe lagoon]

it doesn't have a dogshit model, that's enough imo

[latent elbow]

Fine by me tbh

[sick yoke]

@celest sparrow gun burer seems to just straight up ignore my armor, kind of stupid

[quasi python]

yea good enough to sit in my inventory forever untouched, unexamined

[latent elbow]

I use Kukri to fight some mutants times to times, this shit hits hard it's fun

[ripe lagoon]

yeah burers are the most dangerous mutant by far

[quasi python]

ya know i might actually try to fight a bloodsucker just for the mission

[celest sparrow]

Yeah it is stupid
Hoping that gets fixed with the upcoming patch

It does have a hard time when it gets a lot of stuff in there lol

[stark grove]

!65k

[dawn marten]

@median badger Anomaly has a limit of a total of 65535 objects (IDs) in the game. Whenever the game engine generates a new enemy with items, it tags the object ID number to the enemy unit and its items.
The same goes for traders & their items, every time you interact with the trader and visit a new place and kill an enemy and check their loot, you make the game engine generate ID numbers. If that ID number reaches 65535, the game crashes, and you won't be able to play anymore on that same game file, unless you "free" some IDs.
You can lower the amount of used IDs by letting items despawn or by selling/donating them at any trader.

[median badger]

yeeeah hasn't been a problem for me but had a feeling there was something like that

They should just double the limit it give it to the next guy

• Update GAMMA: use !update in #🤖bot-commands and follow the instructions sent by the bot.

Try load a save before you fucked around with debug.

too bad i keep quicksaving

Oh yeah no you might be screwed then lmfao.

This is why hard saves exist.

[modest dust]

well

they get annoying for me

tbh it's better to just accept the rep loss then perm brick your run.

[modest dust]

perm brick?

[warm verge]

erhhh

[flat plover]

Bugged. Broken. Etc.

[modest dust]

oh

okay well thx guys

[flat plover]

Basically don't fuck around with debug unless you know what your doing. (Besides gives yourself items or going into god mode.)

[modest dust]

why do the npcs even teleport

[flat plover]

A-Life fuckery.

[modest dust]

how do i fix it

[flat plover]

You don't lmfao

[wheat leaf]

Always make a solid save any time you finish doing something important (selling stuff, organizing gear/stashes, etc) so you have something concrete to go back to.

As for the task being unfinishable because a-life can't make up its mind on what squad the guy should be a part of, I know there's a way to just instantly complete tasks with debug. I dunno the exact command for it though.

I think there's a mod on modDB that makes an easier to use tool that does the same thing; instantly completes/fails a task. Can just use either of those to tick it off and move on.

[vagrant current]

Especially make a solid save before attempting the big ones like MM, BS, or the attack on CNPP

[wheat leaf]

Debug ALSO has an option to just kill every NPC, useful for if you have a big mod shift mid-save since it forces a respawn of NPCs after a little while, so things like loadouts and whatnot get refreshed globally.

That will also just kill the guy. (It does not kill important NPCs.)

[vagrant current]

Though MM isn’t too challenging besides the psyghosts, snorks, and controller

[mental furnace]

idk most crushes i got were in limansk during mortal sin

[wheat leaf]

Snorks are easy, the psyzombies are a little bit of a pain, the controller is also a joke in my opinion. The real issue is the Burers. Dudes will absolutely clobber you to death with boxes and debris faster than a poltergeist would, and also can use fuckin' force lightning, while being tanky as FUCK and having goddamn invincibility phases like they were some kind of end boss.

[vagrant current]

Though whoever decided the placement for snorks in MM is kind of an asshole for putting so many of them around blind corners

[wheat leaf]

They didn't. Snorks are programmed to hide from you until you are close enough. They hide behind bushes and stuff to ambush you, same thing here.

But it doesn't stop them from sending the ghosts at you.

[near estuary]

placements are almost directly copied from vanilla SoC

[vagrant current]

It’s been so long since I played vanilla SoC I can’t even remember anymore

[wheat leaf]

The main thing is really learning where the triggers to spawn something behind/right in front of you are, because there's a few in the MM itself as well as the sewers on the way out.

[modest dust]

hes by himself

[mental furnace]

vanilla SoC MM had a lot of zombies tho

[vagrant current]

Something that can also make MM much easier is to take a few IED’s or mines. Put one next to the stairs where the burer spawns after you shut the MM down, another for the hallway before the room with the controller, one or two for the pseudogiant to chunk most of its health

People sleep on IED’s I feel. Especially later on when your scavenger rank gets high enough that you’re drowning in grenades from looting stalkers

[near estuary]

true, but combat difficulty in SoC is almost non-existent on a second playthrough

[mental furnace]

[near estuary]

as long as you keep your armor above 70% and carry some artefacts, you're pretty much never going to die in combat unless something bugs out

[wheat leaf]

Just know where the free armors are, stack a few night stars/gravis, and rebind medkit to a mouse button. Easy.

[near estuary]

yeah SoC just throws so much free shit at you

it's ridiculous

[mental furnace]

5 batteries and repair armor in electra

[near estuary]

and then you start up CS and you get basically nothing

[vagrant current]

I never felt remotely challenged in S2 except for maybe the ending gauntlet and that one pseudogiant that knows telekinesis

[wheat leaf]

I'd love to get Stalker 2 but even on sale it's still like $50. For the base game.

I am broke.

And I want at LEAST the special version for the extra side quest.

[valid crater]

If the two bloodsuckers bug out and run inside the main room and upstairs they will bombard you with psyghosts. 😁 This can be very annoying without proper psy res.

[wheat leaf]

I really don't care about the free armor/weapon from the big pack.

[vagrant current]

Where’s S2 GAMMA, the game doesn’t have nearly enough inventory management, crafting, and health mechanics autism

[mental furnace]

all repairmans gone extinct after CS

[wheat leaf]

Never had them bug out on me, but I also have a really bad luck with suckers in general. I had a squad of 4 psysuckers attack me literally the first time I entered the garbage on this playthrough.

[flat plover]

^^
Especially now that they added that early game sniper.

Don't even gotta get close anymore.

[vagrant current]

I remember trying to get a yellow stash in truck cemetery that was right next to the area transition so I thought it’s be super easy

Zone: FOUR PSYSUCKERS. DIE.

[wheat leaf]

Truck Cemetary
Easy

My condolences.

[valid crater]

I always have them run inside and spam psy ghosts. So it's a run thing to get them killed somehow.

[near estuary]

CS's economy is the main issue of that game
it's basically impossible to make money

and it robs you of all your money halfway through the game

for no reason

[near estuary]

it's easy

[wheat leaf]

Basically just gotta be sure to use it all at Xenotech before you go to Garbage.

[vagrant current]

CS is the one Stalker game I never actually finished

[near estuary]

can't blame you

[mental furnace]

[vagrant current]

SoC? Did it like five times. CoP? Like ten times. CS, most of the way, never finished.

[wheat leaf]

My issue is that guns are made out of paper mache in CS. Like 2 magazines of firing and they go below 70% and start jamming like crazy.

[valid crater]

They added a few nice ideas in Clear Sky. But sadly none of them was really polished.

[wheat leaf]

Which is probably why it's so hard to make oney, you have to CONSTANTLY repair shit.

[mental furnace]

thats why u spend all your money before going in there and throwing all your shit before door

[near estuary]

I did SoC like 12 times, CS 3 times and CoP 5 times

I tried SO HARD so find anything enjoyable about CS

it just isn't there

[wheat leaf]

CoP has its own issues. It's the most 'solid' gameplay-wise but also once you learn all of the stashes are static, you can just sprint to 3 different stashes and have expert tools, SKAT armor, and an SVU and everything is easy mode now.

[near estuary]

I don't think there's a SKAT in Zaton/Jupiter

you can get an SVD north of the sawmill tho

[wheat leaf]

-# It's been a few years and I don't remember the EXACT armor/weapon but I'm exaggerating to get the point across lol.

[mental furnace]

i only remember one with vintorez on zaton

the only one i need to remember

[near estuary]

yeah in the burnt house

[wheat leaf]

I remember SC did give you something for free.

[near estuary]

you actually get that one as a reward from Beard

[wheat leaf]

Scar's AS Val is available if you go to where the emission happened during the cutscene, by the train cars.

It's 0% though.

[near estuary]

yeah...

[mental furnace]

ikr that how i found it first time

[near estuary]

and you can't buy ammo for it until you get to mid-game

[wheat leaf]

"Oh hey here's a 'free' gun that costs you almost 90k to repair and you can't even use until the game is mostly over anyway."

Thanks, GSC.

[near estuary]

yep

[mental furnace]

or until u get hunter questline done for infinite ammo

[near estuary]

the only actual free thing you get in CS is the Veles detector in Doctor's hideout

[vagrant current]

I have a problem with games that give me really cool weapons that I can only use in like the last 5% of the game

[wheat leaf]

CS moment with the gauss rifle.

[near estuary]

every other free thing either sucks or you pay for it in bandages/medkits to get it

[wheat leaf]

Here's the coolest, strongest gun in the game. Use it for a glorified cutscene to shoot Strelok.

[near estuary]

worst section of the game btw

[vagrant current]

Metro Exodus with the gauss rifle too. Can only use it in the final part of the story far past the point of no return.

[near estuary]

yeah but it's actually good

and you can use it for a few hours

[wheat leaf]

It's super clear the ending was something they really cobbled together because they didn't know what else to do. The beginning is mostly solid but the story really turns into a slip n slide of 'just make the events of SHoC happen'.

[near estuary]

not 10 minutes

[near estuary]

I think storywise, CS has the strongest early-game

everything else fucking sucks though

[quick lava]

👆

[wheat leaf]

As much as I HATE THE FUCKING SWAMPS, I do agree. Clear Sky as a faction is cool af.

[quick lava]

When I was a kid, I replayed early game (Swamp-Cordon) like dozens and dozens times

[wheat leaf]

Zero visibility, radiation EVERYWHERE if your pinky toe dares get within 10m of a 2cm deep puddle, and 90 billion boars.

• The Great Swamp

Also they did the really fucking weird thing of making pistols... NOT ADS? You just kinda squint a bit harder with your hipfire. It feels so weird.

In a way it's... not a bad thing? Since guns aren't 100% accurate in CS anyway it kinda shows you more where your bullets are likely to go, but still it fucks with me.

[near estuary]

at least you can see what you're shooting at tbh

but gunplay as a whole blows ass

so it really doesn't matter

[wheat leaf]

At least in SHoC I know that ADS does literally nothing unless you have a scope on your gun which magically turns your 60° cone barrel into a proper straight line.

[near estuary]

I think ADS in SoC works fine

it's not great

[wheat leaf]

The bullet physics in xray are way too good for a game that makes your AK fire literally directly downwards sometimes.

[wheat leaf]

In vanilla, it does literally nothing without a scope. It's the same as just hipfiring. There's no difference. Might've been intended to? But code-wise, it just changes your viewmodel, that's it.

They did fix that in Complete.

Which is how like 99% of the world has played.

[near estuary]

well shit

[wheat leaf]

Apparently there's a more faithful mod that was made by people who fixed Clear Sky as well but I don't remember the full name of it... Google'd probably help but it's early and my hands are frozen.

I just know it had Sky in the name.

Main differences mostly being that Complete apparently re-adds some beta stuff automatically whereas the other mod gives you the option on install for some of those things.

[mental furnace]

did faction war still suck in complete?

[wheat leaf]

Also:
#📎mods-added-for-next-build message This is a cool mod and idea, but as someone who already is blind as FUCK the AI can probably see better than I do.

[wheat leaf]

Think of it as like, how Warfare is now for Anomaly. "Neat idea, never going to work properly, nobody cares to fix it."

[green shale]

dw half the stuff in there never actually makes it into the modpack

[wheat leaf]

To put this into perspective, I literally got fucking jumpscared by a bullet hitting the ground beside me because a zombie stalker saw me before I could see them.

[mental furnace]

[wheat leaf]

Another thing that came to mind recently; It boggles me that Busyhands is still such a prevalent issue that doesn't really have a fix.
Thankfully there's that mod that forces your game to crash (and make a panic save) if it's about to happen to keep your save from being fucked, but...

Monolith Engine gave the player character extreme ADD and sometimes they get stuck stimming.

[mental furnace]

[atomic pebble]

Tejas Stalker is pretty chill

[novel junco]

It's the Stalker Autist!

[atomic pebble]

Tejas Stalker is smth like an Anomaly, is probably the user that most played the trilogy, HoC and Lost Alpha, for example he has been played (only) HoC on the last 10 months or smth

[green shale]

it really isn't very prevalent any more, at all.

[atomic pebble]

Too, Tejas Stalker was the admin of "Official S.T.A.L.K.E.R" since 2012 until 2019 sooooo until certain point was a "spiritually GSC employee"

[green shale]

and it DOES have a fix. that is actually the entire point of having "that mod that forces your game to crash" (Busy Hands Watchdog) - the point of it is to pinpoint which script(s) cause the crash so that the mod author can go fix it

it's not actually meant for players (except that as a helpful side-effect, it can prevent the event handler loop from getting worse). It's really a utility that helps modders get their scripts tested

[vagrant current]

Speaking of ADS, does using a canted sight or aiming with the laser have any difference in recoil or handling than using proper iron sights or optics?

[green shale]

!gunstats // any shot that is not in ADS mode = affected by Handling stat. All shots are affected by Accuracy stat

[dawn marten]

@vagrant current read this: #╭📖faq message

[wheat leaf]

Not that I can tell personally but the viewmodel might bounce differently since the gun is moved?

[green shale]

canted sight counts as ADS, laser does not

[wheat leaf]

I have learned something new today. Let's see how long it stays in my head.

[green shale]

it's just literally "did you click the ADS button to put you into a different aiming mode, yes/no"

[wheat leaf]

I shouldn't be surprised, it is still xray.

[vagrant current]

So does that apply to lasers, even when using right click?

Like on guns where you just hold the thing at an angle and aim with just the laser instead of optics or sights

[wheat leaf]

If you are talking about certain guns that have a 'side view' when the laser is on, like the Bizon, that should still count as ADS.

Since you are literally holding the ADS button.

Personally I'd love it if there was some kind of laser module attachment that was basically universal, but I'm sure that'd require a full pass of every viewmodel. Maybe just some 'flubbing it' option where the laser just comes from just below the barrel on guns that don't naturally have a flashlight/laser for it to come out of? Dunno if adding the laser itself needs a viewmodel change or not.

[vagrant current]

Actually, speaking of lasers, I feel the need to complain about two things. The first is that I can have a LAM or an optic on the Five-SeveN, but not both. The other is that I can’t slap a LAM on a deagle despite it having a bottom rail.

[green shale]

because the game doesn't have a gun attachment system. the basegame only allows scopes + UGLs to be added/removed from guns, and it treats "gun" and "gun + scope" as two completely different items

[green shale]

the guns with a LAM are basically a gun variant. you can't "just" add/remove a LAM. to do that, you'd have to make a mod that adds:

• a new model for every single "gun + LAM" variant
• a config for every "gun + LAM" variant

it's also why scopes are such a giant pain in the ass

[wheat leaf]

It's why if you used GAMMA/Anomaly waaaayyy back when (like 2 years ago), adding BaS to your install suddenly made the guns section in debug mode have like 5 billion guns in it, because the debug showed EVERY variant of a gun, with every scope. Thankfully they fixed that.

I have noticed the melee weapons are still duplicated between the actual knives, and 'melee_effect' or something like that.

@green shale That being said, is the actual projection of the laser anything you have to do model stuff with in blender? Or is it just a config setting?

[green shale]

i don't really know tbh, gun modding isn't really something that interests me so i never bothered to learn

[wheat leaf]

That's fair! Just curious because if it's JUST configs, then you could spoof LAMs for guns by just adding the lines necessary to draw the laser to the guns. Wouldn't bloat the model number.

[wheat leaf]

I don't think companions will loot things for you, no. Never had them do it for me, anyway. You can still give them stuff to hold onto, treat them like backpack upgrades lol.

[mild wing]

[junior notch]

does artifact transmutation retain the condition

[green shale]

i hope you like disguising

[wheat leaf]

If it's anything like other crafting, it ends up with a 100% condition item.

Upgrading your devices magics up a new battery, for example.

[green shale]

not for artis

because it would be broken as hell to craft a new T4 arti at perfect condition

[junior notch]

true the bat specifically

the bat artifact

[wheat leaf]

Fair enough!

I haven't bothered crafting artefacts yet, I wanna see how many I can find naturally first. That and I just sell all of my mutant parts to keep up with how much I need to buy cleaning kits and sharpening kits.

I kinda wish traders had bigger stacks of sharpening kits, you burn through them so fast. Even with Skills Expanded and the perks that give you higher chances to not use charges when using kits, I STILL go through them super quick.

-# I need to find good efficient ways to get large amounts of scrap metal, since guns don't always give you them on disassembly and repairing multitools constantly probably doesn't help my lack of sharpening kits thing.

[junior notch]

the answer is no

wow this shit is fucking useless then, awesome

[wheat leaf]

Repair the lower tier artefacts before turning them into anything higher.

Non-perkifacts don't degrade.

[junior notch]

this isnt crafting, i'm transmutating with the transmutation artifact

[wheat leaf]

And it ain't that hard to get a couple of Stone Bloods or Jellyfish by just camping cordon.

[wheat leaf]

If it's still based on the condition of the artefacts you use, you still wanna repair the artefacts before you use them.

[junior notch]

yeah it isnt

[green shale]

check the disassembly guide pinned in #╟🔰☢newbies-chat but the short answer is "hammers, shovels"

[junior notch]

100% kobolok turns into a 30% firefly

[green shale]

you generally want to disassemble hammers anyway for wood scrap

[junior notch]

so it sucks dick

[wheat leaf]

I have so much wood scrap from guitars and one of the shovel types

[junior notch]

though i could find a use for this

i suppose you could make a shitty artifact and transmute it since it doesnt matter

[wheat leaf]

I might seriously consider taking the guitars off of the auto-disassemble list and just sell them to traders.

[vagrant current]

Were both the artifacts you transmuted at 100/99%? In my experience if they’re both 99%, then the higher tier arti you transmuted them into is also 99%

how would you guys feel if years down the line when its safer in ukraine, a stalker show was made and filmed in the zone

or a series retelling the trilogy

[rose musk]

idk if it would make a good real 1:30-2hr+ film

But i'm just wary of movies being made about specifically games

[sharp schooner]

thats be cool but im not sure

people tend to fuck shit up

[rose musk]

feel like it's best left to fan animations/short films

On 2009-2010 GSC wanted put the set of the cancelled series on the real Exclusion Zone

but instead they moved the set to crimea or smth because the actors refused to put the set on the exclusion zone by "possible danger by radiation"

[atomic pebble]

i preffer new thingis

Imo hypothetical series or movies about "new versions of the zone" or simply new stories not related directly to the trilogy or HoC are the best thingi that GSC would think for a series

[sharp schooner]

brah one of the mercs i shot had a really good condition AWSM

fuck yes

Purists in the GAMMA Discord...?

[mild wing]

there's more gamma haters here than you'd imagine

[teal turtle]

I invite them to suck my fat one and fuck off elsewhere

The same purists would probably praise Lost Alpha.

On that note, I still haven't played Lost Alpha.

[atomic pebble]

Imo SoTZ was bad, i just don't feel that there enough stalker, and im not talking about the tacticool, simply i feel that would be non-stalker-related and not much will change

[teal turtle]

I might actually skip Lost Alpha and move on to a mod I have been interested in besides GAMMA. "Spatial Anomaly" ;3

[atomic pebble]

good choice

[sharp schooner]

🤨

is this the way to somebodies heart?

[sick yoke]

I haven’t watched it but isn’t that one literally just “tacticool operators shoot guns and maybe occasionally talk about something vaguely stalker related”

@celest sparrow
